Girls and reproductive health
CHARVÁTOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor thesis focuses on girls and their awareness of reproductive health. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part deals with the definition of reproductive health, its risk factors, and discusses sexual education as a lifelong process. The text also describes the issues of adolescence, including secondary sexual characteristics that appear in girls during puberty. Menstruation, types of contraceptive methods, sexually transmitted diseases including prevention are described in detail. Planned parenthood is defined emphasizing the importance of gynecological exams. In the conclusion of the theoretical part, the work of a midwife is characterized, including her competencies in providing community care focusing on adolescent girls. Two objectives were set for the practical part. The first objective was to map the awareness of girls in primary school about reproductive health. The second objective was to determine the sources of information about reproductive health among girls in primary school. Two hypotheses were also defined for the study: Hypothesis 1: Girls in primary school would prefer a lecture on reproductive health from a healthcare professional rather than a teacher from the school. Hypothesis 2: Girls in primary school acquire information about reproductive health more from the internet than from school education. The research sample consisted of 108 respondents (100 %), specifically 52 girls (48 %) from the 8th grade and 56 girls (52 %) from the 9th grade of selected primary schools. Girls answered questions related to reproductive health. A quantitative data collection method was chosen, in which a questionnaire of 32 questions was compiled, including 16 closed-ended questions, 15 semi-open questions, and 1 open-ended question. The questionnaire was distributed in selected primary schools in paper form. McNemar's test was used for evaluation to assess the hypotheses. The significance level for deciding on the null hypothesis was set at 0.05. The research revealed that 98 % of girls obtained information about reproductive health from teachers in primary school, not from healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, or midwives. However, 79 % of girls stated that they would be interested in educational lectures from midwives. The research also showed that girls in primary school acquire the most information about reproductive health from the internet (49 %), from parents (38 %), and from school (37 %). It was concerning to find that in one response, it was mentioned that no one had provided any information about reproductive health to the girl. The results of the research section could be used by midwives as inspiration, especially for preparing materials for lectures on reproductive health for adolescent girls in elementary schools.

The influence of diet on the absence and recovery of the menstrual cycle
MARTINÁSKOVÁ, Markéta
The aim of my Bachelors thesis was to find out what effect diet has on menstrual cycle loss and what effect diet has on menstrual cycle repair. Eating disorders, malnutrition, alternative diets, low body fat, hormonal contraceptives, stress, reduced energy intake and excessive physical activity can have a negative impact on the menstrual system. One of the most common forms of secondary amenorrhea is functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. Low level of estrogen occur, which has a negative effect not only on the reproductive system of women, but also on their overall health. Secondary amenorrhea that lasts 6 months or more results in thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) in postmenopausal age. Early therapy is necessary for the proper function of the female reproductive system. In the practical part, I evaluated a questionnaire of my own design and analyzed the diet records from respondents who have faced or are facing loss of menstrual cycle. The results of my questionnaire investigation confirm the negative impact of the above mentioned factors on menstruation. More than half of the women interviewed have experience of eating disorders. Almost 1/3 of the women are on a reduction diet. The daily energy intake of some of the respondents is below 1500 kcal. The vast majority of the women participate regularly in sports. More than 1/2 of the women experience frequent fatigue, stress and were facing difficult life situation at the time of loss of menstruation. Only less than 1/4 of the respondents use hormonal contraceptives or have an IUD in place. According to the questionnaire survey, more than half of gynaecologists do not deal with loss of menstrual cycle. After evaluating individual diets, it is clear that loss of menstrual periods occurs with low energy intake. By increasing energy intake, menstruation returns.

A special chapter is devoted to the period of adolescence and risky behavior of adolescents - at this stage of their lives, because the respondents are adolescent girls. Furthermore, the theoretical part contains the period of pregnancy, the stage of childbirth and types of contraception. Because it is very important for adolescent girls to receive information about contraception, pregnancy and childbirth, the last chapter mentions the importance of educating adolescent girls by midwives and their communication together.

The second hypothesis was: Adolescent girls aged 18-20 have more information about childbirth than girls aged 16-17. The sec- ond hypothesis was also refuted. Third hypothesis: Adolescent girls aged 18-20 have more information about contraception than girls aged 16-17. This hypothesis was con- firmed. Fourth hypothesis: Teenage girls in secondary medical schools have more knowledge about pregnancy than teenage girls in grammar schools and high schools with- out a high school diploma. The fourth hypothesis was confirmed in the research.
